I've always preferred Keaton to Chaplin, and think this film is one of his best. Sherlock Jr. is an excellent starter film for anyone looking to get into silent movies: not too long, some special effects that are interesting, and genuinely funny. It isn't the best thing Keaton ever put to screen, but it showcases all there is to love about his style.
